Loaded Potato Wedges

Prep Time 15 minutes
Cook Time 30 minutes
Total Time 45 minutes

Ingredients  

Wedges

  • 2 pounds russet potatoes
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground black pepper

Toppings

  • ¼ cup sour cream or crema
  • ½ cup cheddar cheese, grated
  • ½ cup bacon, cooked and crumbled
  • scallions or chives

Instructions 

  • Preheat the oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment and set aside.
  • Wash and dry potatoes then cut them into 8 wedges.
  • Place the potato wedges in a bowl and drizzle with oil and sprinkle with kosher salt. Toss well to coat.
  • Spread potato wedges out onto the parchment-lined baking sheet, making sure they do not overlap or touch.
  • Bake for 30 minutes flipping the wedges over halfway through baking. Wedges should be golden, crisp, and fork-tender.
  • Remove the potatoes from the oven and top with cheese and crumbled bacon. Return them to the oven and bake for an additional 2 minutes to allow the cheese to melt.
  • Transfer to a serving platter and top with sour cream and onions. Serve immediately.

Notes

1. To cut potatoes into wedges cut each potato in half lengthwise.  Cut each half in half lengthwise.  Finally, cut each of those halves in half for a total of 8 wedges.  If the wedges are too large, they can be cut again.
